Going thru WoTG missions and seeing how they did the cutscenes, its quite impressive for what they had available.
Every expansion had more and more detail in the cutscenes. I remember my first experience with Wings and how blown away I was by [what I now recognize as] the cinematography, direction, and animation. And you can tell that even though the budget has been slashed since then, the cutscenes for Rhapsodies were still extremely high-quality.
